Pamela, I looked in the Brockwitz section of your site but I didn't find an identical one there.  :?

It looks as though it could be Brockwitz but I'm still not sure.  :)

I'm glad we cleared that one up. First, I started seeing pictures that other people couldn't see, then, I started not seeing pictures that other people could see.

Walthwitz!!! WOW  :shock:

As far as I know some Brockwitz moulds even went to Russia in 1941 when they shut down. The colour of yours reminds me of one of my tazze

this one even got the price of 72 Kopeken moulded, hard to find and nearly impossible to photograph
 :cry:

Is it worth looking at the base of yours again?

I shall dive into Schwepnitz then - they got some moulds also...
BTW the only surviving manufacturer of glass in Saxonia from that time
